Upgrading to python3.13? [testing needed]

[Aaron-Zhao123]

• removes versioning constraint on coco-tb
• end of support for setencepiece
• adapt loading with pytorch==2.6

testing script

print("This is a save and load test")
import chop.passes as passes

from pathlib import Path
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from chop import MaseGraph

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("prajjwal1/bert-tiny")
model.config.problem_type = "single_label_classification"
mg = MaseGraph(model, hf_input_names=["input_ids", "attention_mask", "labels"])

mg, _ = passes.init_metadata_analysis_pass(mg)
mg, _ = passes.add_common_metadata_analysis_pass(mg)
# test export and load
mg.export(f"{Path.home()}/tutorial_1")
new_mg = MaseGraph.from_checkpoint(f"{Path.home()}/tutorial_1")

Huggingface is also a bit problematic, because it seems in the new version, their model.config.problem_type is changed in their upstream, this would cause transforming to fx fail on some old models, for instance, this bert-tiny, the workaround is to reassign that problem type on the fly.

@firemountain154B Can you do a quick test on the hardware side to make sure Cocotb works? I had a slight worry here -- I thought we locked cocotb to 1.8 for a reason...

health.rst and sphinxcontrib.test_reports are disabled for now. The test-report package on sphinxcontrib is no actively maintained, I am open to alternatives on showing pytest reports on the doc website...

Currently, the license of QuestaSim is out of date on any imperial service, and seems they don't have any plan to re-subscribe it.
So for verilator, do we need to update the docker img either?
